All the senior-students were part of the PEP for Seniors NORC SSP. They met once a week every Thursday for 5 months with artist-in-residence Martine Fougeron in the PEP Classroom. From 9 to 12 from January 15 to May 28, 2015, whether rain or shine, and it snowed quite a bit…

The students would bring in their cell phones or cameras. They would be taught to download them onto a computer, select them and edit them.. and then share them via the internet.

Sometimes the seniors did not know how to hold the cell phone to take a photo or how to focus on the touch screen, sometimes they did not know how to download and save their photos, sometimes they did not know how to download a chip. Most did not know how to send photographs to their friends and family via e mail, much less face book (and a few had accounts). Some seniors even opened face book accounts during the course.
